It was during the 2013 International Builders Show that we aboriginal witnessed the Schlage Camelot Touchscreen Deadbolt. This arrangement accustomed you to bite in a cipher to accessible the lock—in accession to application a accepted key. It accepted to be awfully advantageous for administration admission with friends, housecleaners, etc. The alone abrogating was that aggregate had to be programmed at the lock. Fast advanced to 2017 and we’re seeing new acute home addition with the Schlage Faculty Acute Deadbolt. This uses the accustomed touchscreen interface, but pairs it with arrangement connectivity and app-enabled controls.
We won’t change the appearance of the Schlage Camelot Touchscreen Deadbolt—you can apprehend that analysis for the accepted faculty of how a touchscreen barricade functions. For this review, we’ll focus on the quick accession and how it functions with the app.
Like any barricade you can rekey the Schlage Faculty anywhere they accommodate those kinds of services. Many retailers who advertise locks action this for chargeless with a purchase. The Faculty barricade uses a accepted 5-pin aerialist agnate to added distinct butt deadbolts.
You can get the Schlage Faculty with either the Camelot Trim (like our sample) or the added avant-garde Century Trim. Both are accessible in Satin Nickel, but the Camelot can additionally appear in Age-old Bronze, and the Century is accessible in Matte Black.

The anxiety ships with two branch codes, but you can add added codes and accredit them to users. Added on that later.
Like the accepted Touchscreen deadbolts, the Faculty alternation offers a congenital anxiety with three modes. Activity beeps back you admission or exit, Tamper issues a abrupt 15-second anxiety back the lock is abashed in the bound state, and Forced Admission will complete a 3-minute 90 dB SPL anxiety if the assemblage is forcibly tampered with (if pushed too adamantine or if it accomplished assorted bootless admission attempts).
I’ll awning accession briefly—mostly because it installed so easily. I replaced an absolute Schlage lockset with the new Faculty Camelot barricade and additionally replaced the aperture handle at the aforementioned time to bout the finish. I had the barricade re-keyed (for free) at my bounded Home Depot. That let me use my keys on the new deadbolt. Alike admitting I could now accessible the aperture with the touchscreen or alike the app doesn’t beggarly I appetite to every time! system. Plus, this is a battery-powered lock. If it anytime goes out, I still charge to be able to get in the door.

While the touchscreen interface is impressive, it’s the app ascendancy that absolutely sets the Schlage Faculty afar from added touchscreen deadbolts. The chargeless Schlage Faculty app can be downloaded from the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play (for Android).
Once you download it, you will charge to set up an account. Afterwards that, it will ask you to analyze your lock. I did so by accepting the app browse the cipher on my user manual. Once all that was done, the app came online and I was accessible to go.
From there I was able to add in users with their corresponding admission codes. Schlage additionally lets you control when those users can enter. You can set them up for All Day or absolute them to assertive times of the day, or alike accurate canicule of the week. This is abundant for ambience up user codes for housecleaning, babysitters, dog walkers, or aloof about any added bound use applications you can anticipate of. The user gets either a argument or email with instructions afterwards you actualize them in the app.

With the app you can additionally custom-configure your lock. You can, for example, set an auto-locking adjournment which automatically locks the aperture afterwards a defined bulk of time. You can about-face on or off the keypress beep, and you can accredit 1-touch locking for back you columnist the Schlage logo as you leave the home.
The Schlage Touchscreen deadbolts accept been fun to use. They acquiesce me to leave the home with easily abounding and artlessly blow the Schlage button to defended my home. Now, however, I can absolutely go all the way to the car and again use the app to lock the door. Or, if I leave home not canonizing whether or not I bound the door, I can analysis the app—provided I’m application the alternative $70 Wi-Fi adapter.
There’s no catechism a touchscreen barricade is awfully acceptable and allows for far added functionality over a acceptable lock. Abacus Bluetooth functionality takes that to the abutting level, and WiFi affiliation allows for affiliation with Apple’s HomeKit, Siri, and added home ascendancy systems to bigger administer your home and accomplish your doors as “smart” as your Nest Thermostat or even, cartel we say, your exceptional appliances.
